Imagining the Internet : Personalities, Predictions, Perspectives

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In the early 1990s, people predicted the death of privacy, an end to the current concept of property, a paperless society, 500 channels of high-definition interactive television, world peace, and the extinction of the human race after a takeover engineered by intelligent machines. Imagining the Internet zeroes in on predictions about the Internet's future and revisits past predictions--and how they turned out. It gives the history of communications in a nutshell, illustrating the serious impact of pervasive networks and how they will change our lives over the next century.
